Abstract
Presupposing invariability of hitherto centrifugal tendencies in a frames of devolution reform and predevolution processes in Wales and Cornwall, questions of protection and development of national language are expected to remain in the Welsh/Cornish authorities centre of interests. Published by the Welsh Government and the Cornish Council schemes of national languages contains postulates of widening range of cymraeg or kernewek teaching, strengthening of bilingualism in public sphere and subsidizing of Welsh/Cornish media. However top to down stimulation of bilingualism would not succeed if most of people in Wales and Cornwall will be still English speaking. Which is more reducing number of Welsh speakers and slow growing number of Cornish speakers shows both these languages have no practical sense and are not able to compete with English. There is no reason to overestimate meaning of Welsh and Cornish in political mobilization processes because their role was only to confront Welsh and Cornish cultural diversity. Literally interpreted and appeased by the UK Government demands of legal and institutional guarantees of both languages protection and development caused finally displacement of public interests to other measures for realizing main aim, it is widening or implementing devolution processes.
